and enable HALdaemon in Yast-System-SystemServices.
This is the procedure I use all the time, when upgrading via a clean install.
Thanks for the suggestion. i eventually tried it, but not before i stumbled on the kmail solution. kdepim3 in my ancient 11.1 is version 3.5.10-106!!! the kdepim3 that the kde3 PATTERN installs for 12.1 in yast is version 3.5.10-154, and THAT needs some work! fortunately, the work seems to be allready done in a version available from the OSS 12.1 repo (!!!!!), and that's version 3.5.10-11.1.2!!!!!!
Lol. It's not version, it's number of build. All kdepim3 packages are built from the same source (the version in 11.1 repo is slightly outdated and does not include the latest patches because currently KDE:KDE3 repo is built only for 11.4 and above). Once a new build target is added (say, new openSUSE release), the build number counter for that release is set to 0.
sooo, if one installs kde3 from the official repo, one might want to check on the proposed version of kdepim3 before installing, check on the versions tab in yast and change it, or, better yet, perhaps the gurus can set that to happen automatically. btw, running without akonadi and without libstrigi installed feels just fine:))) ALSO, there seems to be no hal at all installed, so there is no hald daemon option in system services, yet i have no problem with either the dvd drive or my usb printer:) and, btw, this is my first email from my 12.1 - kde3 system:)
